Cordova to Capacitor Migration
Cordova is running in volunteer maintenance mode, and the commercial ecosystem around it has largely moved on. We migrate Ionic apps from Cordova to Capacitor without rewriting your UI, using a team that has shipped both in production.Your Ionic components and app code stay as they are. Only the native bridge underneath changes.

For Every App Still Running on Cordova
If your app was built on Ionic with Cordova before 2020, this almost certainly applies to you.
Who This Is For
Your app still lists Cordova plugins in package.json
A recent iOS or Android release broke a Cordova plugin
Your last App Store or Play Store submission was rejected or delayed
Nobody on your team has migrated a Cordova app before
You want to keep your existing Ionic UI and just replace the native layer
Problems We Solve
Plugins Nobody Maintains
Half your Cordova plugins haven't been updated in years, and the maintainers have moved on.
Store Submissions Getting Harder
Apple and Google keep raising requirements that Cordova's volunteer maintainers can't always keep pace with.
One OS Update From Breaking
Every iOS or Android release is a gamble on whether your Cordova bridge still works.
Migration Keeps Getting Postponed
Everyone knows the migration is coming, but nobody has the bandwidth or Cordova-to-Capacitor experience to start it.
How We Migrate You From Cordova to Capacitor
Your Ionic UI and app code don't change. Only the native bridge underneath does. 2-4 weeks, depending on plugin count and custom native code
Codebase Audit
We review your Cordova plugin list, config.xml, and any custom native code to understand exactly what has to move.
You'll Receive:
Plugin Mapping
Each Cordova plugin is matched to a Capacitor equivalent or community plugin. Anything without a direct replacement is flagged before migration work starts.
You'll Receive:
Capacitor Migration
We swap the native shell, wire up the mapped plugins, and rebuild the native iOS and Android projects under Capacitor.
You'll Receive:
Store Verification
We test the new build against current iOS and Android requirements and submit it for store review.

Every step is clearly defined with fixed timelines and deliverables. No surprises, no scope creep, just results you can count on.
Cordova vs Capacitor: What Actually Changes
Capacitor is Ionic's own recommended native runtime, and the migration only touches the layer underneath your app.
Why we migrate to Capacitor, not away from Ionic:
The UI Layer Doesn't Change
Capacitor only replaces the native bridge underneath your app. Your Ionic components, routing, and business logic stay exactly as they are.
It's the Path Ionic Itself Recommends
Capacitor is built and maintained by the Ionic team as the direct successor to Cordova, not a third-party alternative.
Plugins Get a Maintained Home
Where a Cordova plugin has no Capacitor equivalent, we write a thin native plugin rather than wait on a volunteer maintainer.
Store Submissions Stop Being a Gamble
Capacitor's native projects are kept current with Apple and Google's requirements, so submissions don't stall on a bridge that's fallen behind.
Our Own App Runs on Capacitor, Not Cordova
Summon is the proof that a Capacitor-based Ionic app holds up at real scale.
Scaling from 100 to 450+ Active Locations
Summon is a paperless valet management platform built on Ionic and Capacitor from the start. It now runs across 450+ venues, on the same native runtime we migrate Cordova apps onto.
"Divtechnosoft built our entire valet platform end-to-end, not just pieces of the code. The team always articulates options and solutions in a very clear and concise way. We are happy to be working with such a responsive, fast and reliable group of high quality engineers."

After the Migration
Moving to Capacitor solves the native bridge. Here's what else might be relevant.
Ionic App Development & Support

Maintenance & Support
Once you're on Capacitor, a retainer keeps it that way through future OS and store changes.
Ionic to React Native Migration
If Capacitor is a stop on the way to leaving Ionic entirely, we handle that migration too.
